The information center near/in Times Square is a great place to visit.

Glad you brought this up. In Times Square if go in the AM about 11 you can buy half price tickets to Broadway Shows for the
same day. I am pretty sure they still have this, have not been back in quite awhile.

I wouldn't even know where to begin. There is also a phone app that tells you how many minutes to the next bus.

Central Park. Rockefeller Center. Walk along Fifth and Park Avenues. The observation deck at the Empire State Building. Riverside Park. Central Park. The Brooklyn Museum. The Asia Society. Bloomingdale's. Christopher Street. Grand Central Terminal (there's a guided tour every Wed.) John's Pizza in the Village. Peking Duck House in Chinatown. Arthur Avenue in the Bronx for the best Italian food in NY. I am making myself homesick!

Basebol season just started, 7 train to flushing for the mets, D train to the bronx for the yankees.
Gray papaya for hotdogs, any rays for a slice of pizza.

Where are you going to be based?

Dont buy jewlery, or gold off the street, if its a too good of a deal, just walk away.
Century 21, daffys, marshalls,tj max for deals on clothing.
Yellow taxi in manhattan (city), greean taxi or black car in the outer boroughs.
Avoid the crazy people , and watch out for slashings.
Avoid parts of the bronx and brooklyn.

No pizza from Ray's! Hold out for John's in the Village. Or V & T up by Columbia University, across from St. John the Divine. But Gray's Papaya at B'way and 72nd, a definite MUST DO.

Yes. They still do. But you're not going to get tix for anything like "Hamilton." Maybe "Jersey Boys" or "Chicago." Which wouldn't be bad.

Right in the middle of Times Square, just behind the statue of George M. Cohan. Can't miss it.
